Streetwise (StrW) is a skill.
It indicates the character's proficiency in navigating in and around a city.

Evolution

The Streetwise skill starts somewhat higher with Town Trades Family and Urban Commoners family backgrounds.
The occupations that increase the skill well are: Merchant-Proprietor, Local Trader, Peddler, Swindler, Friar, Master Craftsman, Travelling Merchant, Vagabond.
In-game, Streetwise can only be increased through events (see below). It can never decrease, and cannot be learned from a tutor.
